Man Facing Two DUI Charges Keeps Job, No Jail Time

IL v. RM
Chicago DUI and criminal defense attorney Michael O’Meara often represents clients with a broad range of DUI charges. More recently, a 30-year-old Cook County man was facing his second DUI. Overwhelmed with concern that he might lose his job at a cable company, he sought out the legal counsel of Michael O’Meara.

Within a month of hiring him, the man acquired his third DUI. O’Meara took important measures to ensure his client would not lose his job over these ill-advised DUI charges. Fighting ardently on behalf of his client, O’Meara was successful in achieving a not guilty verdict for one DUI and secured a misdemeanor rather than a felony charge for the other. By winning the initial DUI, this was enough leverage for O’Meara to secure a misdemeanor rather than a felony. His client was able to continue working as a result of a strong defense in both Illinois DUI cases.

The outcome of an individual case depends on a variety of factors unique to that case. Case results do not guarantee or predict a similar result in any similar or future case.
